Janice Combs further called upon the public, as well as her son’s fans and supporters, not to rush to judgment.

“My son is not the monster they have painted him to be, and he deserves the chance to tell his side,” she said. “I can only pray that I am alive to see him speak his truth and be vindicated.”

The indictment against Sean Combs centers on alleged “freak offs,” which authorities describe as elaborate sex performance with male sex workers and women who were forced or coerced into participating.

Sean Combs is being held in federal custody in Brooklyn after he was twice denied bail.
